In September 2022, we bought a house with a beautiful lawn. It has an irrigation system that I use when needed (a lot this year since the rain stopped in August). I followed the Scott’s four-step lawn care system this year.
Do I need to do anything before spring next year? I haven’t done any overseeding or aerating. Part of me feels like I shouldn’t mess with it if it’s doing well, but I’m new to lawn care and want to keep it looking good.
I live in Ohio and I’m a beginner.

Mix Triclopenhagen with Barbasol, use a Scott’s spreader, thatch, then dethatch. Do it horizontally on even days and vertically on odd days.

Exactly what I did last weekend!
Pick up that leaf. It’s a mess out there!

Already plenty of that with my dog, kids, and me!

Haha, I just commented the same thing!
Looks like those blades need sharpening.
You’re lucky to have such a nice lawn. Most of the hard work is done, now you’re in maintenance mode.
Looks great as is! But a vertical cut and collecting clippings would also be a good idea.
Maybe check if the blades aren’t aligned properly, it’s cutting unevenly.
If you haven’t fertilized yet, I’d put down some winterizer. It’ll help it green up better in the spring.
Claim victory! By the way, great lawn!
Quit showing off! Haha, it looks amazing. Good job!
Grab a lawn chair and bask in the jealousy of your neighbors.

I get it, sorry! I inherited this lawn and I know I’m lucky. I’m new to lawn care and just don’t know if I need to do anything before winter to make sure it looks this good again next spring.
